Michele Bachmann: Reporting On Dumb Things I Say Proves Media Bias

Heartfelt chuckles and patronizing sighs were enjoyed by all when Michele Bachmann told a New Hampshire crowd on Saturday, “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.” (New Hampshire is also the state where United States Marines “raised the flag at Iwo Jima.”) It was an honest mistake — only a fool would believe that someone in China could hear musket shots fired in New Hampshire approximately 1,000 years ago. But alas, the media reported this gaffe anyway, proving once and for all that there is a blatant liberal bias in the media. Michele Bachmann is hardly surprised though, since she’s already well aware that “the 3,400 members of the mainstream media are a part of the Obama press contingent,” whatever that means. This news story is a bias within a bias, which is the plot of Leonardo DiCaprio’s next romcom thriller.

But can Michele Bachmann support her whining with evidence? You better believe it:

Bachmann highlighted moments when President Barack Obama misspoke as a candidate. In one instance, in May 2008, then-Sen. Obama said, “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

Later in the day, Obama told reporters that he misspoke.

Bachmann suggested that helps prove a liberal media bias.

“Of course, that wasn’t considered newsworthy,” she said of Obama’s remarks.

So basically there is a huge pro-Michele Bachmann bias in the Jew-run mainstream Islamic homosexual media, and Peter King must investigate Michele’s brain STD before there is another 9/11, the end. [CNN]

CNN, that's moment, no 's'; and Michele, the fact that you can count Obama's major gaffe on one finger is why yours get reported on a lot more.

DustBowlBlues

See? Proves it. His millions of gaffes are all covered up by the lamestream media.

mumbly_[redacted]

Also, I'm pretty sure that connotation of the word "gaffe", which implies unintentionality or an error originating in clumsiness, rules out prepared remarks to New Hampshire that get New Hampshire history wrong this badly. She clearly *thought* it was New Hampshire, until the Lamestream Media pointed this out.

This isn't hard: she was speaking in New Hampshire, and said "you". Replace "you" with "Massachusetts" and her speech is incoherent and makes no sense in its context (speaking/pandering to New Hampshire)- not that that strictly rules out it being a normal Bachmann speech, but calling such a thing a "gaffe" is an insult to Bidens everywhere.

BerkeleyBear

She actually said the line on consecutive days as part of a prepared speech. Then insulted Massachussetts by claiming NH was where they still care about Lexington and Concord (and bashed Obama while admitting she uses teleprompters too, just for the hell of it). Not a gaffe – more like proof she is the inspiration for Ron Burgundy.

OneDollarJuana

Remember that New Hampshire and Massachusetts were not the United States back then, thus they were effectively the same to the Brits, a foreign country. Ipso facto, Lexington is in NH.

The_Great_Gazoo

I suspect that, in this case, the blood-brain barrier is not particularly resistant to infiltration by a whole host of infections. Therefore, I would advise her against sucking on Dick Morris's toes, lest she get some sort of esophageal fungus that easily crosses over. Or maybe that's the problem here already?

After seeing her State of the Union rebuttal speech I am pretty sure that she spent her whole time in high school history, looking to the right of the chalkboard.

That's very funny Babs. But, in all seriousness, if her teacher had hung the portrait of Founding Father Ronald Reagan someplace else other than to the right of the chalkboard we might not even be having this discussion.

MilwaukeeKent

That or maybe she has a glass eye. I had a boss years ago who was one-eyed and a coworker clued me in to the nasty trick of looking him in the glass eye when talking to him and it did indeed throw him off. Didn't stop him from asking if he could urinate on my head. I'd tell him he couldn't and he'd suggest I could urinate on his head which met with a similar rebuttal. Apparently no one can bring themselves to tell Bachmann she can't run for president because plainly she spends most of her time on a distant planet, but they'd be doing her a favor and saving her a lot of embarassment.

you're allowed to misspeak when the rest of the statements that come out of your mouth are, you know, facts and sane things and stuff.

there's also that whole 'harvard degree', brilliant speaker' and 'u of c law professor' but let's just leave it at 'facts and sane things'.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumbler/cheaphits/reviews/ cheaphits

Michele would like to point out that she was a member of the final graduating class of Oral Roberts' law school…which was so good that it no longer exists…so there!

But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in historical garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Patriots, I get worried. I get nervous.

First of all, Mr. Obama was referring to the number of Democratic Presidential primaries. Actually, there were only 56. Yes, he said "states." It was a mistake and he admitted it.

Ole Crazy Eyes said " “You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.” That simply makes no sense. If the shot was "heard 'round the world" then it wasn't heard at Lexington or Concord, now was it?

Additionally, how could "a shot" be fired in two places at the same time? Not to mention "You're the state…" Although, clearly, her natural state is confusion.

"One 'L'" ("What the L?") Michele should know the words by heart:

By the rude bridge that arched the flood
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled.
And here the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard 'round the world.

Really listen to the what Duh Gov'Nuh says – won't make much sense, either.

I'm fairly sure it wasn't a reference to 57 primaries, but an even simpler "I'm so tired I can't remember my name" moment, where he meant all but one of the continental states. Brain starts with a familiar phrase "all 50 states" and then flubs the downshift. See also the Snopes article.

OC_Iodide_Surf_Serf

He meant to say Heinz 57 cause he was wanting some lunch.

At least when and if Barry ever 'misspoke' we didn't invade the wrong country…

how could "a shot" be fired in two places at the same time?

It's the same as Schrodinger's Cat. Until the shot was actually heard, it couldn't be determined if it was in Lexington or Concord, and in fact, until it was heard it was two shots. That's why quantum physics is so Revolutionary!

Actually, doesn't she have horrendous turnover with her staff? If I remember right, no one can stand working for her for longer than a year.

It is the higher level ones that tend to leave quickly too.

Yes, flubbing and saying the word "fifty" when you meant "forty" in extemporaneous remarks is totally the same as giving a prepared speech, presumably written by a speechwriter who graduated collegehighmiddle school, without anybody realizing that the original Lexington and Concord were in Massachusetts, and that New Hampshire, the state you're attempting to pander to, (and every other fucking state in the country) named cities after them in homage.

Dear Michele: You were in New Hampshire when you made that stupid mistake. You were there because that's where the first primary is held. When politicians go to New Hampshire to campaign they spend most of their time telling doddering old skinflints and yupped-out forty-somethings how wonderful they and their state is and always has been.

As long as you kiss their white asses you can say all the stupid crap you want about everything else and no one who votes in N.H. will notice. But when you fuck up the easy, basic stuff then you are screwed.

It bears mentioning, often, loudly, and biliously, that Meeshel ALSO said "the very founders . . .

His dad was. Look it up. He also didn't end slavery, any more than John Adams, who was a founding father, did. And the media has barely whispered about that fucktarded fuckup. Nor have they dwelt on the blatantly racist statement by Huckabee that Obama was raised by his father and grandfather in Kenya where he was indoctrinated with an anti-British sentiment. Which Huckabee blamed on "a slip of the tongue." Except Obama was raised by his mom and step father, not his father, and – for a few years – in Indonesia, which was a Dutch, not British colony.

Did the question (that he has yet to deny) Did Glenn Beck rape and murder a girl in 1990? get Michele Bachmann wet in her pantsu? I'm just saying what everyone is thinking

I don't understand why she doesn't weigh 400 pounds. She has every other crazy-TeaOP trait in superabundance. She really wrecks the correlations.

entirely off-topic, but just discovered this video. if you love dogs, this will validate your love. if you hate dogs, shame on you! bad! bad human! no, seriously, watch this whole thing through. there's no english translation but what happens is pretty self-explanatory. (ps, it's good, not sad. watch. you will cry, but for good reasons. we should all treat each other this way.) http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/dog-supports-injur…

Happy and sad, I guess that;s why iz a bleedin Leftie ;
happy life lived, sad life suffered, also ;}
PS 2 legs good 4 legs just as good .

http://www.defendwisconsin.org/ Natl[redacted]Cmdr

i know, i shouldn't have said it wasn't sad. i meant in comparison where you think you're going to watch some creature get eaten. it is sad, but, ultimately, i hope, heartwarming.

ps that little 'yelp' at the beginning of the video. for those of you w/ dogs, you know that sound and what it means.

dogscantlookup

I thank you for linking of that vid, a lot of life was destroyed, not just us (humans)
I do not know if the reports are true but the dogs were rescued and sent to a shelter.
the link you put up made me cry, for the pain and for the life that will recover,
I thank you. no snark

You should have seen his scathing review of the second-generation iPad.

Oh holy shit, I googled the artist Dan Lacey, and came across an article where Orly Taitz is suing him for painting a portrait of her with a pancake on her head: http://www.startribune.com/local/97441929.html?el…
You cannot make this stuff up:
In a motion for reconsideration in the case, Taitz said that she "cannot state with certainty who paid Dan Lacey, however it is common knowledge that billionaire George Soros, one of the biggest backers of Obama, through his organization Moveon.org, has commissioned numerous artists to promote Obama and denigrate his opponents and critics."

Wonder why that is not getting the same press play as Kenneth Gladney's imaginary assailant?

Reporting on that would interfere with FOX's efforts to find even one violent act taking place in Madison. They haven't found one yet, but they're very certain they're going on all the time.

"I'm a man and have a six foot penis."

and it's well worth the climb.

six foot, seven foot, eight foot…

Sorry…bad joke time:

A man with a 30' long penis was admitted to the hospital. In order to make him more comfortable, they cut a hole in the ceiling above the bed. One day, a nurse came in to find him writhing in agony on his bed. Rushing to his side she asked what was wrong. He told the nurse, there's a fly on the tip…shimmy up and knock if off.

The nurse wasn't in the best shape, but she did her best…only making it half way. She apologized to the man, but he said it was no problem…do that once more and I'll drown the fucker.

I would appreciate all of Michelle Bachmann's words says better if they were spoken in Swahili because I don't understand Swahili.

BarackMyWorld

The media loves Obama so much they let every lie about him get repeated 100 times before even trying to fact check it, then hold a panel discussion on why people believe it.

Sassomatic

I love when the media repeats something over and over again, then takes a poll to see if people believe it, then report the results of the poll, in which most people believe what they've been told by the teevee for days, as if it is proof what they have been saying is true

BarackMyWorld

Maybe someone can explain this to me…

How does Michele Bachmann oppose gay adoption, but is okay with her husband having 23 foster kids?

Negropolis

Sounds like the voices in her head are getting louder. I think what's keeping her from announcing is that there is currently a battle going on in her head. One voice is saying "run for president", the other is demanding that she burn down her house at midnight, and a third is chanting "I want by babyback babyback, babyback, babyback…"

In a few weeks, will see which one has won out.

Bat-shit-crazy-mann is so Winning(!) at the moment.

This reminds me of when Benedict Arnold wrote the Declaration of the Constitution on the back of a napkin in a Boston tavern. Yeah, just like that. Then him and future president George Jefferson went dueling under the pale moonlight.

That darn Fox News and it's liberal bias, never reporting on Obama's mistakes.

SayItWithWookies

Remember after 9/11 all those poor slobbering bastards who you'd read about gladhanding Dubya and saying "I'm so glad you're the president now, and not — you know…"? I can only imagine what would happen if Michele Bachmann was in charge of anything more critical than a flashlight during any kind of emergency. And of course there'll always be someone dumb enough to say the same thing to Bachmann in this terrifying hypothetical situation — but the difference would be that if someone said that, it would be a sign that things were about to get much much worse.

I dunno, if Bachmann had been president after 9/11, we'd have bombed the hell out of Antarctica and been out within no more than a year or two, tops.

I would like to point out that notoriously liberal Massachusetts is not Real America anyway. She was only trying to make the Revolution start where it should have started.

Of course, this is radically OT, because I'm much more interested in whether or not Sylvio Berlusconi can actually get it up or is just throwing money at underage hookers to convince everybody else he still can, and so I wrote this:

Just looked up Michele's hometown on Wiki (Anoka). Apparently, the place labels itself the "Halloween Capital of the World." Yeah, that sounds about right. Who knew suburban Minneapolis was seeking all of this time to corner bat-shit crazy and beat it to death with a bat to inherit its powers?

The town is also the birthplace of Fox & Friends Gretchen Calrson and Garrison Keillor, which explains even less.

Negropolis

BTW, people like Michele Bachmann is why America can't have nice things.

neiltheblaze

Later, on Facebook she scribbled:" So I misplaced the battles Concord and Lexington by saying they were in New Hampshire. It was my mistake, Massachusetts is where they happened. New Hampshire is where they are still proud of it!"

Michele: My state of Taxachusetts is actually proud of its rebellious past. We were revolutionaries when Minnesota was a fur-trapping outpost, cuntface.

BaldarTFlagass

In Minnesota, they are still proud of Pasquinale, ze grate trappair, and his hot wife Clay Basket. Oh wait, "Centennial" took place in Colorado. Doh!

She should have said(as I always do) " there is no better place to eat than the Common Man in Concord-I especially love the red, white and blue pie"- and I am not running for office(but maybe I should). Also in NH– people from Mass are called Massholes.

Right, at that point, it's less like accidentallly saying fifty when meaning forty eight continental US states, and much much more like saying there's 58 and then proceeding to list the remaining eight or ten: "Baja California., West Dakota, New England, Guam… "

If Michele Bachmann ever starts to sound intelligent, it will serve as an early warning system for the arrival of alien pod people.

What's really funny is that now every teatard now knows the US has 57 states and territories. So Obama taught them something after all!

I'm not saying Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990, I'm just asking the question…

I suppose, when you consider Fox News to be a bastion of unbiased truth, then you can believe that reporters reporting what happened instead of writing a PR-style piece to make Bachmann look smart and different than she actually is is biased and not a reporter's job.

New Hampshire is proud that almost everyone has indoor plumbing now.

Lawrence O'Donnell, like all of them, gives too much credit. He marveled in one of his Rewrites at the utter ignorance by which this loon operates, with a staff that failed to correct the geography gaff so that she repeated it a day later, and voters who returned her to office with 52% of the vote.

Calling her and her enablers "ignorant" gives her too much credit. It's like labeling Dohbya and Palin as "incurious." It suggests they have the faculties all to do better, but they're lazy, not crazy nor too lame to comprehend, as the case may be, and is.

"Calling her and her enablers "ignorant" gives her too much credit. It's like labeling Dohbya and Palin as "incurious.""

I wish I could attribute this correctly, but I don't remember who it was who described this ilk as "*aggressively* ignorant".

"Bachmann highlighted moments when President Barack Obama misspoke as a candidate."

In other words, this millennium's version of, "But the REAL problem is that Clinton got a blow job!!" I was wondering when they'd get around to updating that.

Obama makes a slip of the tongue about numbers, but she and her gang routinely lies about them (how many gazillion dollars did Obama spend in India? Hidden zillions of health care money? and so it goes)
